Bermagui calls for better bus links

The Bermagui Public Transport Advocacy Group on the New South Wales far south coast says there is a good case to include the town in long-distance transport routes.

The group is calling for a small feeder bus to connect Bermagui with a bus route between Narooma and Canberra, and is also requesting that a bus between Batemans Bay and Bairnsdale divert to the town.

A meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon to discuss the proposal, and the Chairman of the meeting, Jack Miller, says there is a captive market for transport companies in the town.

Mr Miller says the Federal candidates should support the idea.

"We're trying to get a commitment from Government and from Opposition candidates to support, by way of minor subsidy if necessary, these services, so that our town is linked with those capital cities."
